I went to Silverstone the year Nigel Mansell won the World Championship (1992), I had grandstand tickets so I thought it would be great, how wrong I was. Apart from the pre-start grid and the last lap when Mansell crossed the line (fans invaded the track as he approached the finish line) it was really dull. I vowed never to go and watch a live race again, it's so much more interesting on TV because you get to see all of the action at all of the corners plus the replays.

I was there too, somewhere in the loft I have one of those foam seat cushions you could buy with an FIA logo on it, my lasting memory is sitting on the Coach trying to get out of the car park, we moved 50yds in about 2hrs
